What is a health expectation? Developing a pragmatic conceptual model from psychological theory.
Review in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04873635 (Patient's Expectation and Satisfaction of Implant-supported Prostheses After Excision of Pathological Jaw Lesions), which is not on this map. Cited by 39 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
introductionExamination of the existing literature in respect of health expectations revealed both ambiguity in relation to terminology, and relatively little work in respect of how abstract theories of expectancy in the psychological literature might be used in empirical research into the influence of expectations on attitudes and behaviours in the real world. This paper presents a conceptual model for the development of health expectations with specific reference to Alzheimer's disease.
methodLiterature review, synthesis and conceptual model development, illustrated by the case of a person with newly diagnosed, early-stage Alzheimer's disease, and her caregiver. OUTCOME: Our model envisages the development of a health expectation as incorporating several longitudinal phases (precipitating phenomenon, prior understanding, cognitive processing, expectation formulation, outcome, post-outcome cognitive processing).
conclusionExpectations are a highly important but still relatively poorly understood phenomenon in relation to the experience of health and health care. We suggest a pragmatic conceptual model designed to clarify the process of expectation development, in order to inform future research into the measurement of health expectations and to enhance our understanding of the influence of expectations on health behaviours and attitudes.
